    Hey Josh, this video was an absolute masterpiece! I listened to the podcast as well, and I admire your vulnerability. Your videos are stories full of life lessons that provide an altering perspective on life. The old footage of your home was wild too! I can't believe you still have that footage. Amazing work as always my friend.

      Hello Mr. Josh and Ms. Cecilia.
      You are an inspiration.
      I am 42, but your outlook in life makes me look forward to what’s ahead as if our lives are just getting started and far from over- like society puts youth in a pedestal. Love from the U.S.
      More power to you and your advocacy.❤

    thanks for sharing this video sir. I'm 52 and One thing I learnt in life is that no matter how little, no matter the age it's never too late to get started and having the mindset that every day of your life you're evolving. Life becomes unpleasurable when you add too much pressure. I started my path to reinventing myself a year ago, I’m now living healthier, confident, stronger, making 6 figures, having leisure to enjoy family &friends. I feel happier and living my life for myself . This is to encourage someone “you can start anytime to have a reset it’s worth it! I’m striving to continue growing cus it’s a journey 💗

      Change your mindset, read self-help books, expand knowledge, budget and don't spend on impulse, save, take your finances seriously, eat healthy, exercise your body, meditate; the list goes on...
      I hope it is useful to you.

    I am in my 70s. What I know for sure is this: we never stop evolving and learning; we learn most from our mistakes, so they cannot be failures; self awareness is a good thing but what matters most is what we contribute to others; events that rock us to our core are survivable if we are willing to adapt. Wishing you a happy journey to your 70s!

It's heartening to see you come out the other side stronger, wiser and more willing to continue to do the deep work on yourself and your relationships. You & Cecelia seem like the perfect couple - I can't imagine either of you with anyone else. I'm glad this worked out well for you both. God bless.

    10:03 “Initially, I was going to find something positive and insightful to say about those very difficult years, but then I realized there wasn’t anything. Sometimes we miss opportinities in life, it’s how it goes. Not every tunnel is traversed successfully to the other side where we come out transformed somehow.” This IS insightful! ; - )

I enjoy your stories and they make me wonder if I could reorganize my life at this point as well. I watched the podcast with your son. Wow, lots of life lessons. Nothing in life is guaranteed. Your content is thought provoking and a little intense at times, surely reflective of your current evolution and the logistics you are working through.

    I so needed to watch this today. I’m at that point where my ego is getting a massive whipping at the moment and cracking open deeper. Exhausted. Thank you for giving me hope with this video 😊

    I love your raw authenticity, your mind, your heart-- yours and your wife's. You're a beautiful person, taking the road less traveled. Please post more often, you have your audience here. Your wife also. Blessings to you. Oh.. and. you're a damn good narrator of your own life. That's a rare skill.

    Brilliantly told! Similar journey starting in the 1970s. Left everything I knew in 1999 to live elsewhere. Still learning and growing and I’m 70 this year! What a trip with massive ups and downs that I’m endlessly grateful for. ❤️

    I appreciate your self-insight and honesty so much! Sometimes the pattern recognition of repeated pain is what motivates us to seek help for things we didn't *know* were possible to change, or didn't have the tools for at the time. A fallow period isn't wasted when it becomes fertilizer for future growth! Kudos for this video & your transformation! 🌱🌿🌈🤩✈❤

    It's deeply moving to see a man working on his own obsession and revealing the soft light, the heart, the intution that lies beneath the personae. Welcome to your spiritual path. I am very touched by your honest and moving testimony.

    An inspiring video. Life is giving us some many opportunities to grow and it goes through phases of resistances and suffering. I love this quote from A. H. Almas that Gabor Maté refers to often "the part of you that loves you more than anything else has created roadbloacks to lead you to yourself"

    Soy argentino, sigo a tu hijo hace un montón y caí en tu canal gracias a él.
    Le envié muchos de tus videos a mi viejo que paso por un cambio muy similar al que pasaste e incluso encuentro similitudes en las experiencias que tuviste con Nathan a las que yo tuve con el.
    Son cracks los dos! Contenido de altísima calidad, un abrazo grande desde Francia!

Este video es espacial en este momento ya que estoy en mis 50 pero me siento de 30 con más energía que nunca. Este es un nuevo comienzo así que gracias por abrir tu mundo y realidad
